I think we all deserve something special and this is very special and easy to make .
Ingredients
- 3 eggs , yolks and whites separated
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 250g mascarpone
- 1 1/4 cups black coffee , hot and strong!
- 2 tbsp Kahlua , or other liquor of choice (skip for alcohol free)
- 200g (24 - 30) lady fingers, eg savoiardi biscuits
- Cocoa , for dusting
Instructions
- Beat yolks and sugar in an electric mixer on medium speed 5 minutes or until it changes from yellow to pale yellow (almost white), and is thick
- Add vanilla and mascarpone, beat until just combined and smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl, set aside.
- Clean bowl and whisk. Add egg whites and beat until it's stiff , should be all white foam
- Add 1/2 the cream mixture into the egg whites. Gently fold through. When most incorporated, add the remaining cream mixture and fold through until just combined
- Mix coffee and liquor together. Quickly dip biscuits in and line the bottom of a 20cm square dish.
- Spread over half the cream, then top with another layer of coffee dipped biscuits.
